“George Lopez’s new album “El Mas Chingon” was released on September 26th and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and #3 on the Comedy Chart. The Grammy Award nominated comedian also has the ongoing comedy tour of the same name, which includes six sold out shows at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City. “El Mas Chingon” is the follow up to the Grammy nominated CD “Team Leader.” The new album marks Lopez’s fourth release with Oglio Records and is currently a contender for “Best Comedy Album” Grammy for 2006.

Lopez is the star and co-creator of the hit ABC sitcom, “George Lopez” that will be entering its sixth season this fall. Having become one of television’s biggest celebrities, Lopez recently was bestowed with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition to his success on the small screen, Lopez maintains an extremely active schedule as a stand-up comedian, selling-out prestigious arena venues coast-to-coast. With his new comedy album, George’s observations on Latino culture and his own life reveal him to be one of the most real and honest comedians working today.

Currently in the works is a documentary entitled, “Brown is the New Green,” which will air nationally on primetime PBS about how American media and Hispanic marketing are shaping the contemporary Latino identity. The documentary’s primary focus will be on the making of “The George Lopez Show,” the most popular English language Latino show in the history of American television. It will feature conversations with George Lopez and other key figures in the making of the show as well as marketers, programmers and members of the much coveted Latino market.”
